Information on FECA's Consolidated Bill Processing and Medical Authorization Process

All Medical Authorizations and Bill processing are handled by our contractor, ACS.

ATTENTION PROVIDERS: Effective 10/1/06, your ACS/OWCP Provider Number/ID must be in Box 33 of any HCFA-1500 and in Box 51 of any OWCP-04 submitted for bill processing. Any billing form submitted without the Provider Number/ID in the designated box will not be processed and will be returned to the provider.
